UNSPSC 85515557: Drainage of left femoral artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left femoral artery, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 049L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85515557 Drainage of left femoral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the sourced opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical networks for government employee benefits, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve drainage of a femoral artery or match the procedural specificity the code implies. The mismatch suggests this code either serves federal healthcare purchasing (Veterans Affairs, DoD, Indian Health Service) or was incorrectly tagged in state and local notices.

State and local governments—including Phoenix (pension board retirement determinations), Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health compliance), Harris County (juvenile detention healthcare), Collier County (pharmacy administration), and Santa Clara County (temporary clinical staffing)—are active in healthcare procurement, but the work they are actually buying falls outside this code's scope. No representative recent state and local opportunities exist under UNSPSC 85515557 that involve drainage of left femoral artery or related vascular surgical procedures. Vendors pursuing state and local healthcare opportunities should focus on benefits administration, occupational health networks, and clinical staffing codes rather than this procedure-specific Commodity classification.
